The Raptors weren’t going to win all 82 games, but last night’s give-away loss to the Spurs still stings. To Toronto’s credit, they went down swinging, hanging in tight with San Antonio despite a sizable rebounding discrepancy (55 to 34, including 18 o-boards for the Spurs), and a complete inability to hit a 3 (10-for-37, good for 27 percent). Eventually though, the Spurs’ superior execution won out — which is also about as good as a Spurs epitaph as you’re likely to find.
But now, some possible bad news.
Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun relayed some info from an on-the-scene Mike Ganter regarding the condition of DeMar DeRozan after the game.
